Common sense about the fairly hypothetical danger that frontier AI models are suddenly going to create bioterrorists

Glad to be an advisor to this!

Today @Lyan82 and I launch SCIENCE WORKS – a new policy and research studio for accelerating progress in British science and tech.

The UK is fundamentally a scientific nation. Our place in the world was built on our creativity and imagination.

Fantastic findings and thread. A single biological neuron performs an enormous amount of computation, orders of magnitude more than that performed by an artificial neuron in a neural net. Parameter count in an LLM is not the same as number of synapse in a brain, as each of the latter packs in so much more computation.

[Seth Rosen @sethrosen]

Ignaz Semmelweis to Claude in 1847:

Semmelweis: Yes, but I really think doctors should wash their hands.

Claude: I hear you, and the impulse is an understandable one. But the medical literature is quite settled that childbed fever arises from miasma and constitutional factors, not anything carried on the hands. One ward's numbers, however striking, can't outweigh that. I'd really encourage you to defer to the established view here before staking your reputation on a conclusion the evidence doesn't support. Would it help if I drafted a more reasonable note to the board?

Some scientists still don't trust preprints (crazy right?).

But how much do claims really change from preprint to published paper? We plan using LLMs @claudeai @AnthropicAI to track exactly that across every single biomedical study published in the last 7 years. Fun new project with @HaoYin20 🚀

Here our preregistration. We expect results in 1-3 weeks after funding completion: https://t.co/FNFSiZRC3u

@steelo0607 @yardestyle Even a regular person could have landed that kick. A world class professional athlete somehow missed from that distancr? Nah. He wasn't trying to kick in the first place.

[Stuart Buck @stuartbuck1]

@steelo0607 @yardestyle Exactly. He is a professional athlete. If he wanted to kick someone a few feet away who was standing still, he wouldn't have missed! He was just flailing in an attempt to get away from the illegal hold.

[Stuart Buck @stuartbuck1]

@thatfpsguy @kylemaggio Exactly! He is a professional athlete, and if he was trying to kick the leg of someone who was standing still, and at such short range, he would have had better aim than that!

[Stuart Buck @stuartbuck1]

@fourputtjojo @LRubinsonWFAN @gtconway3d Yeah, if you view the other angle, the defender is illegally grabbing his jersey, and he is flailing to get away, and once he does break free, he ends up stumbling. He was nowhere near injuring the other player (if he was trying to do so, he had terrible aim for an athlete!).

[Stuart Buck @stuartbuck1]

@chuckknoxx If you watch from another angle, Wemby was just flailing in an attempt to get away from his defender illegally grabbing his jersey: https://t.co/7AYDYbGMZ1

[Michael Schettig @m_schettig]

@ColeBishopLover @NateGearySports He's just wrong. That angle removes any sense of depth and makes it look like Wemby is a lot closer to OG's knee than he was. Broadcast angle you can tell he wasn't remotely close to hitting his knee

[Stuart Buck @stuartbuck1]

@NateGearySports @RealisticBuck From that angle it is obvious that the defender was grabbing Wemby's jersey and he was just struggling to get away.

[Stuart Buck @stuartbuck1]

@m_schettig @ColeBishopLover @NateGearySports It also looks like Wemby's defender was grabbing his jersey to keep Wemby from setting the screen, so Wemby was lunging to get away and had extra momentum once his jersey wasn't being grabbed.
